ProtowenelIa is aminute planispiral mollusc with characteristic circumbilical channels on the internal mouid, first described from two Middle Cambrian localities in Australia by Runnegar & Jell (1976). BergMadsen & Peel (1978) subsequently described Protowenella from the Middle Cambrian of Denmark and, on the basis of a functional morphological interpretation, supported the suggestion of Runnegar & Jell that the genus was a member of the class Monoplacophora.
